Once I was advised to leave the seeds in the dark a little longer, ie about 4 days, I have since had a couple of really good crops of micro green beet shoots. They are delicious. I have grown them on trays with no soil and they are working really well. They look so lovely too as they are dark red colour with little green leaves on.

Nice high quality seeds.
Stephen Westgarth (Verified Buyer) –
Beetroots have been a challenge, but worthwhile on the whole. The flavour of the sprouts is completely beetroot. The 2 downsides are that they have been slow to sprout – even when done over summer solstice on an ideal warm sunny windowsill – and half the seeds don’t sprout.
However even the unsprouted seeds add a crunchy nutty surprise to any salad so are still a delight.

I bought these for growing beetroot from rather than micro-greens and they are doing great so far. In fact as well as the top quality of their products for sprouting with effectively 100% germination rate (so no mung bean ‘stones’ in your mouth, ever) I always if possible choose their products over commercial seeds for this as they consistently out-perform them. I sow rocket in patches on the allotment and have just harvested the first Rambo radishes which are fabulous, yet (for me) a consistent failure with seeds from eg Wilko et al (NB the China Rose give longer white radishes which did not work for me). Also embarrassingly generous customer service the second there is the slightest problem – I shall not be accepting any more discounts in future inc for writing this review! :-)

I love the flavour of theses micro greens which grow speedily on my sunny windowsill. They are so tasty and make a beautiful garnish to salads and sprinkled upon my morning avocado. A great and healthy way to start the day! Delicious!
